i own a bullitt andi admit it is not the fastest car on the face of the earth but it is quick. there was a write up a while a go that the mustang magazine took a 99 cobra, 02 mach I and a 01 bullitt (2v). The mach one had better numbers and also a 4v. they said that the bullitt had the best performance out of the three and that it lost to the mach I by hundreths of a seconds and the cobra was the worst (due to IRS) i can easily see the bullitt beating the Mach I now as for the hp #'s - i bet they are a little off unless he has juice.
